Hermann Advertiser-Courier Delivers The Local News Reliably

An Editorial Comment, straight from the horse's mouth ....
Published by Clark Kant, Editor In Chief

On a slow news day over at CountyNewsLIVE.com, the people of Hermann could at least depend upon The Hermann Advertiser-Courier for their local news.  Just like clockwork, The A-C was delivered to my mailbox as it has been on so many, many Wednesdays over so many, many years before!

On a day when the folks at CountyNewsLIVE.com busied themselves working on their "Subscriber Telethon", The Hermann Advertiser-Courier brought solid local news reporting and a good dose of local advertisements to their readers.

We wish the folks over at CountyNewsLIVE.com all the best as they struggle to remain financially solvent.  And we thank Don Kruse, Cathi Utley, Erin Kottwitz and the entire staff over at The Hermann Advertiser-Courier for delivering the local news to us just like clockwork!  We can always count on The A-C ...... and that's a very comforting and reassuring feeling!

  1. Right on, Clark! My family has been getting The Hermann A-C for three generations .... and I don't think they ever failed to get the paper out because they were conducting a "Subscriber Telethon"! Ha ha ha!

  2. Kudos to Don Kruse and the entire staff at The Hermann A-C! They plug away to put out an excellent product each and every week! I get The A-C down here. Much better than the Gasconade County Republican!

    Yep, throughout all the years I don't think Don Kruse or J. J. Graf ever had to conduct a "Subscriber Telethon", a bake sale, a raffle, or anything like that! A well-managed newspaper in the best tradition of journalism!

  5. Thank you for the kind word about J.J.'s management of the Courier. Times have changed in the newspaper industry and if it takes a telethon to keep the paper going, then I applaud the effort.
